Leids University Medisch Centrum (LUMC) was founded in 1575 and is one of the leading international research universities in Europe. The LUMC originated from a collaboration between the Academic Hospital Leiden and the Faculty of Medicine of Leiden University.

The Center for Proteomics and Metabolomics (CPM) is the technological core innovator and service provider at the LUMC regarding the analysis of proteins, metabolites, lipids and glycans from biological materials such as cells and tissues. Mass spectrometry is the key technology applied at the CPM, complemented by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and advanced, miniaturized separation systems. The CPM develops and implements cutting-edge proteomics and metabolomics technology for analyzing disease-associated molecular mechanisms and fingerprints within all research themes of the LUMC promoting technological innovation, biomedical research and public health.
